Political gadfly Ralph Nader wants to give 2012’s class of third-party presidential candidates one last say before Election Day, gathering the four most viable long shots for a weekend debate at Busboys & Poets (2021 14th St. NW).

Ex-Rep. and Constitution party nominee Virgil Goode (Va.), former New Mexico Gov. turned Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, Green Party candidate Jill Stein and former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson are all expected to bare their souls to select media from 7:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. this Sunday, just two days before voters head to the polls.

Nader pitched President Barack Obama and GOP hopeful Mitt Romney about holding a debate here in the nation’s capital but told HOH he never heard back from either camp.

“The District has been exploited as a backdrop for large partisan fundraisers in its major hotels, restaurants and clubs. But the District’s human and political rights have been ignored,” Nader chided the main contenders in a Sept. 18 letter cosigned by a coalition of two dozen civic groups and concerned individuals, including D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and local restaurateur/debate host Andy Shallal.

Nader said he plans to prod the Oval Office aspirants about issues that have been “ignored, avoided or neutered” by the two major parties, including:

He also plans to mix things up throughout, floating general questions to all for rapid-fire responses, posing custom-tailored queries to each, allowing the candidates to interview one another as well as fielding inquiries culled from debate watchers and social media.

The crowdsourcing has, for the most part, broken along two lines:
